    Fortunately we live in a society where the rule of law prevails.

    Apparently not, because Palin doesn't seem to have been indicted yet.

    If you think tampering with email is small potatoes, you just got your wake-up call.

    It's small potatoes compared to government officials trying to hide from federal reporting requirements by using insecure free E-mail accounts.

    Palin's conduct has been unacceptable.

    One can only hope that when I waste all my business' money at the blackjack table, that the government will step in and bail me out the way they've done with wallstreet's banks.

    Unfortunately, the media has had and continues to have, a liberal/Democrat bent.
